Silly Sully
Allah does a fine job eviscerating Andrew Sullivan, who seems to have decided that no conspiracy theory is too nutty.
Please note: Ana Marie Cox is now the only one of Time’s holy trinity of bloggers who hasn’t floated a batshit conspiracy theory on the magazine’s website. And she’s “the dumb one.” It’s Sullivan and Joshy Rolled-Eyes, the “serious” political thinkers, who have taken to using an esteemed newsweekly as a bullhorn to minimize terrorism. But say this for Marshall: at least when he’s dogpaddling through the fever swamp, he doesn’t pause intermittently to lecture his readers about what “true conservatism” means.Sullivan's MO of late has been to "air" theories that he claims not to believe, but that he thinks at least deserve to be heard. It's the worst sort of intellectual cowardice - it's obvious that Sullivan has fallen into the fever swamps, but doesn't have the courage to admit it.
Here's a theory I heard once - the government is not controlled by the voters, but by small three-armed aliens from the planet Xenor who have implanted mind-control chips into members of Congress.
Sure, it sounds weird, and I don't necessarily believe it, but I'm intrigued.

Okay, it's time to send the black helicoptors for this one. He needs to be chipped.

I took kaus's challenge and looked at sullivan's alexa numbers - do you know what the hell happened in March that set off that cascade?
I mean, hasn't he been like this since before the election? What happened?
